Forums > Living in Kunming > WeChat/Alipay pay and payment abroad

hello, so i also could use the English version of trip.com paying in yuan. but when I try airbnb it will always reject it saying I'm not registered (both with wechat and alipay). wechat pay doesn't work in Thailand either (same not registered thing). so I guess it is what another user said: you need to have a Chinese ID card to use wechat pay abroad or pay on airbnb or similar.

It seems to be indeed a problem of international payments ("abroad") such as payments to/via airbnb/booking/agoda. I managed to book trough trip.com. In order to pay with WeChat one needs to use the China-mainland version of the trip.com site (in Chinese). Using an English version, one can only use credit cards (which I think are hard to get for foreigners in China).

When I try to use WeChat Pay / Alipay on booking/agoda/airbnb the payment does not work because it says I am not authorised. It also says something about payments abroad even though this is for accommodation within China. How can I become authorised?

On Alipay it says: 非身份证件类型用户无法进行本次交易

interesting topic. i like the weather and the atmosphere here but the lack of proper medical insurance and an old age pension make me scared to stay here for more than 1 to 2 years....what happens when you get older and maybe seriously ill? my mother country wouldn't simply accept me back into their system to which i have not contributed during my stay in China...
